Chapter 113: 200m Semifinals

Ye Qin's starting and acceleration stages were slow, this was what everyone expected, and now, what is waiting is for Ye Qin's speed to add up......

The race was only 200 meters, and the time was just over 20 seconds, but the sudden tense atmosphere permeated the hearts of all the Chinese delegation, which only had 20 people.

Almost fifty meters later, Ye Qin gradually raised his head and slowly adjusted to an upright running position.

Regardless of height, the top sprinters can reach the top of their speed in the first 30 meters, which is the fastest part of the race, and the vast majority of sprinters will reach their fastest speed in the sprint at 35-55 meters.

The quality of the World Junior Championships is very good, and the strongest individual in this group is such as Britain's Jamal Ken in the fourth lane, and even in the corners at this time, the spectators can see that the opponent has a clear advantage.

And Ye Qin's position is also clear, he is the fifth lane, but he was overtaken or almost caught up by the runners in the fourth and third lanes in the corner, and if he is replaced by the same running line, he is obviously weaker than the other runners after the start.

Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters......

Ye Lidong and Zhou Bin in the stands couldn't help but stand up, their muscles tensed all over their bodies, and their eyes followed the running figures of the players closely.

Ye Qin's speed was completely full at this time, and he was almost crushed by the other runners after the start, but now it is obvious that the runners who were ahead of Ye Qin's fast speed did not expand the distance between them at this stage, but began to slowly shrink.

Ye Qin's speed is getting faster and faster, but at this distance, he did not suddenly fight out of the other competitors, and ran to the first place in the lead, he was still a chaser.

The first place is still the British player in lane 4, and the opponent is clearly a level higher than all the players in this group.

And Ye Qin, when facing other players, couldn't suddenly surpass others and jump directly to the second position.

This is the World Junior Championships, the strength of each player can be said to be the top player in his own country's peers, Ye Qin wants to easily catch up with and surpass others at this distance as he did in the domestic test or competition, it is simply impossible, he needs to have a longer distance, to be able to fully play his advantage in the second half of the race.

Corners into straights!

At this time, the positions of all the players on the field clearly appeared in front of everyone.

Unsurprisingly, the first runner was British's Jamal Ken, who had a strong first half of the race from the start.

He was followed by Australia's Graeme Ritter in lane 1, Jacobi Mitchell of the Bahamas in lane 3, and Japan's Mitsuken Fuji in lane 7.

Yechin came in fifth.

Wow!

The spectators in the stands erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

The stands at the University of Sherbrooke Stadium have only two sides, but now the stands on the side close to the straight have the largest crowds for the day's races, as they can see the final sprint more clearly because it is close to the finish line!

After entering the straight, Ye Qin quickly inhaled through his nose and quickly spit out with his mouth following the rhythm of his body's pace.

Both the 100m and 200m are anaerobic exercises, but this stage does not mean that the athlete does not breathe, and the rhythm often makes the athlete's state more relaxed and coordinated.

A common combination of "breath-holding" and intermittent tachypnea is a combination of "breath-holding", i.e., taking a short, deep breath of less than 1 second every 2 to 12 single steps or more.

In addition, there are various athletes who hold their breath in the first half, or adjust the breathing rhythm according to their own situation, and so on.

In the 100-meter event, many runners can basically reach the 70-meter or even the finish line in one go, but in the 200-meter event, this is not the case, and the rapid and deep breathing is very important.

Ye Qin did not have special training in this area, and many things were naturally adapted to by his body, but he knew very well that this breathing rhythm would allow him to stabilize his speed in the second half of the race.

"Chase them, overtake them!"

At this time, Ye Qin only had this thought in his mind.

This is the distance he is good at, and he needs to increase his speed to the extreme at this time, and also maintain it until the end.

After entering the straight, the speed of the runners generally began to decline, and there were still 80 meters, 70 meters, 60 meters, and 50 meters from the finish line...... Yechin's speed remained as high as possible.

For Ye Qin, long-term 400-meter training and over-distance running, the current distance is far from reaching the point of his physical decline, nor can it reach the rhythm of letting the body's lactic acid affect his running.

The absolute speed of the race inevitably decreased, but compared to the other runners, he still seemed to be accelerating at this time.

In the 70m, he caught up with Japan's Ken Fujimitsu in fourth, in the 60m, he was already neck and neck with the Bahamas' Jacobi Mitchell in third, and in the 50m, he was very far behind Australia's Graeme Ritter in second place.

"Ye Chin, come on!"

"Ye Chin, come on!"

……

In the stands, the Chinese delegation was no longer silent at this moment, but shouted hysterically as if its voice was about to be hoarse.

Forty meters, thirty meters......

The footsteps were as fast as thunder, and Ye Qin passed the Japanese runner, the Bahamian runner, and the Australian runner, and he ran to second position, and he was only ahead of the British runner Jamal Ken, who had led everyone from the start, and the British black teenager quickly overtook Ye Qin from the start, ran to the first place, and has maintained this advantage until now.

And Ye Qin's later strength made him pull away a huge gap in the first half, and then the distance between the two finally narrowed.

But it's still there.

The last ten meters.

Ye Qin's eyes were firmly locked on the other party, he felt that he was almost catching up with Jamal Ken, at this time he could clearly see that Jamal Ken was exhausted, Jamal Ken's advantage in the first half was too great, but his speed had begun to decline rapidly in the second half of the race, Ye Qin still wanted to try to catch up again and overtake the other party.

The gap between the two has been reduced from almost six or seven meters in the corner to the straight, to only half a meter to a few positions.

At this moment, Ye Chin barely paid attention to the finish line.

Puff puff puff footsteps in unison!

When Ye Qin came back to his senses again, he found that the two had already crossed the finish line.

"Whew-"

A long breath of turbid air came out, and Ye Qin slowed down his pace and ran forward by inertia.

Great Britain's Jamal Ken flapped his chest, glanced back at the other competitors, and roared loudly, his face very excited.

The time on the timing board was already on display, and in 21.25 seconds, Jamal Ken crossed the finish line first!

And Ye Qin stood on the runway with a snort, panting, feeling that his legs were weak, and he could barely stand. Just sat on the runway and waited for this set of results.

The 400m run was tiring, and in the final he was almost out of strength because of the intensity, and in the 200m race was by no means easy.

Like Ye Chin, none of the other runners who reached the finish line one after another were not tired.

For the players in this group of competitions, everyone is competing for the final place again, and they are almost running with all their strength.

Ye Qin gasped, supported his body with his hands back, and sat on the cold track, as if he had waited for a long time before he saw all the results of this group of semifinalists on the big screen.
